I tested it with my System Builder OEM key and it does work. It is possible to get these discs without buying an upgrade licence (at least in Europe you can, not sure about US). Do you know how soon SP1 discs will be available after final release? |

| | Re: Vista DVDs with integrated SP1 Hi Brian, There's been no detail as yet on that, though I suspect vendors as well as Microsoft itself will allow the supply of "gold" disks to deplete before restocking with SP1 disks. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Brian W" <brian.wescombeSODOFF@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:U8_mj.4840$HV6.2496@xxxxxx-win.ntli.net...

Could be a month or more after SP1 is "officially" released. |
